The Red Stands for Irony

I like to think of it as progress. If we had chosen FF #1, I can guarantee you that Zechs would have been in here splooging his eyes out and causing a mess due to the fact that his precious lover Doom was in the comic. (Blacked out for those who don't want any spoilers about FF #1 at all)

And if we had GL #64, then the conversation would have gone something like this:

Punchy: Fuck Larfleeze.

Frank Lloyd Snowlah: Geoff Johns is a terrible writer and the reason for the inevitable decline of the industry.

I'm still unclear why I'm branded a Johns hater. Sure he fears doing original work, his Avengers was worse than Chuck Austen's and he brought back the least interesting character in comics, Hal Jordan, but the boring one's return is at least half Didiot's fault.

Eh, I don't really know at this point. You've said positive things about him before. I think I just got confused and found its easier to continue the brand than make an consious effort to correct it.
